About Whitmore Vale House
Whitmore Vale House in Hindhead is a residential care home supporting older people and younger adults, including adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people living with mental health conditions. We plan support from the person outwards. Each person's support is agreed with them and with those who know them best, and it covers whatever is genuinely needed, from full help with personal care through to prompting and encouragement while somebody manages things themselves. The plan is reviewed properly, because support that is never revisited slowly stops fitting. Communication gets close attention here. We take time to learn how each person makes themselves understood, what settles them and what their behaviour is telling us, and we record it so that the whole team works in the same way rather than each person improvising. People are supported to have a life beyond the building, keeping up interests and activities, getting out locally, attending appointments and staying in touch with family and friends. Respite stays can be arranged where appropriate. If you are looking for a placement or a short stay in Surrey, please contact us and come and see the home for yourself.
